Quick info

In 2010, We The Kings played at Misericordia University. Four years later, students can expect to see a band that has matured and grown since the last time they played the region.

Travis Clark, lead singer and guitar player, said that, as a whole, the band has been able to progress and evolve together.

"The biggest change is that we are getting better at touring," he said. "We are becoming better musicians and we are becoming better individuals.

"So, when we as a band all get out there that connection is so much stronger than it was two years ago even two months ago. To play a show again and be a much better band than we were before is really exciting."

We The Kings members did not have a chance to go to college because of their music career. Clark said that the band enjoys being a distraction to the hectic life of a college student.

"For people coming out to the show it offers an escape, and music should be like that. Even if you are not a fan of We The Kings the performance makes for a good time," Clark said.

Misericordia University is sponsoring a concert for Spring Fest Weekend with the alternative rock band, We The Kings on Friday at 7 p.m. in Anderson Sports and Health Center at the North Gate.

The headlining band, We The Kings is back with more material and is currently touring the country in support of its fourth album, "Somewhere Somehow," which entered the Billboard Hot 200 at No. 44. This is the highest debut in their career. The album has also reached No. 5 and No. 6 on the U.S. Alternative Rock and U.S. Rock charts.

The audience can expect to hear an array of songs from the different We The Kings albums. Including some songs from their latest album, "Somewhere, Somehow."

"We have songs from every single album. All of the top-selling songs that a majority of people love from each album will be played," Clark said. "It is fun to play the songs from the new album for the first time. It will be a mix of everything."

We The Kings will be joined on stage by two opening acts, Subnotics and A Fire with Friends.

The Subnotics are a nine-piece reggae band that plays classic Bob Marley and the Wailers Band material, as well as some original songs. While, A Fire with Friends is a seven-member indie-rock band from Scranton that recently released an album, "Ghost House."

"To wake up in the morning and play and show in the evening in a city you have never been in for thousands of people and then hang out with your friends, go to sleep and have a bus driver to take you to a different city and wake up in the city it never gets old," Clark said.

Tickets for Misericordia University students with a valid ID are $20 and all other tickets for general admission for the concert are $25.

Tickets can be purchased at the Misericordia University Student Activities Office or they can be bought online at www.misericordia.edu/wethekings.
